Abstract

The aim of this research was test the Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire, performing the translation, adaptation, reliability and exploratory factor analysis in 540 youth Brazilian´s, male, soccer players (13.56±0.98 age). As a quantitative research, we applied the TEOSQ, and LSSPCI, following six steps: 1. Judgment of Referees; 2. Trial Undergraduates; 3. Pilot Study; 4. Instrument Implementation; 5. Concurrent Validation; 6. Test-retest. Reliability (Cronbach's Alpha coefficient), and exploratory factor analysis (rotated matrix-Varimax and Kaiser Normalization), over the descriptive analysis as statistical. The results shows Alpha´s of 0.81 and 0.82 respectively to ego and task orientation; the factors analysis extracted two factors, in which the issues 01, 03, 04, 06, 09 and 11, has a high load factor related to the component 1, connected to ego, and issues 02, 05, 07, 08, 10, 12 and 13, are related to task orientation indicating that all the saturation values were above 0.40 for each factor. The average were 4.22 for task orientation and 2.39 for ego, most of the younger athletes are task oriented demonstrating a significant correlation among the orientations. We conclude that the instrument exhibits good stability and its internal factors relate in for each goal´s orientation, and can be replicated across soccer players.

Validity evidence of the Brazilian version of the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sports Questionnaire-2 (PMCSQ-2BR)

“…From the discriminant evidence, simple correlations were calculated between the two high-order scales with their subscales and the two dimensions of the TEOSQ (Hirota et al, 2017 ) (Table 7 ).…”

“…The Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ) (Duda & Nicholls, 1992 ) is a 13-item questionnaire designed to assess the goal orientation of athletes in a sports context (task and ego orientation) using a 5-point Likert scale. The Brazilian version of TEOSQ (Hirota et al, 2017 ), shows good internal consistency for both scales (task orientation α = 0.83, ego orientation α = 0.72), and maintained the same 13 items as the original version.…”

“…Instrument 01: TEOSQ (Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire) developed by Duda (1992), translated, adapted and validated for Portuguese (Brazil) by , Hirota and De Marco (2006) and Hirota et al (2017). The purpose of TEOSQ is to evaluate individual differences in perspectives of the goal, set the practice of school sports, detecting whether the individual is determined to be task-oriented or ego (Duda, 1992).…”
